Kaiser

Our Take

Because Kaiser, unlike other insurers, operates its own provider network, it is able to directly control quality and costs. That’s why Kaiser plans have some of the highest ratings in terms of quality, customer satisfaction and affordability. If you’re comfortable with an HMO plan (meaning you have to stick to in-network care coordinated by your primary care doctor), a Kaiser plan provides good value.

Overall Score

We evaluated this health insurance company using publicly available data on patient care & satisfaction, customer service and costs (premiums) versus similar plans on the market.

Quality & Satisfaction

Based on ratings by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. Plan reviews take into account consumer surveys and performance measurements used by more than 90% of America's health plans. Because so many plans collect this data, it is possible to compare plans on an "apples to apples" basis.

Above Average

Affordability

To calculate the affordability rating we compared the cost of an insurer's silver plan to the average cost of a silver plan in each state. Higher star ratings were awarded to insurers that had plans that were cheaper than the average plan cost in a higher number of states.

Yes, we have to include some legalese down here. Read it larger on our legal page. Policygenius Inc. (“Policygenius”) is a licensed independent insurance broker. Policygenius does not underwrite any insurance policy described on this website. The information provided on this site has been developed by Policygenius for general informational and educational purposes. We do our best efforts to ensure that this information is up-to-date and accurate. Any insurance policy premium quotes or ranges displayed are non-binding. The final insurance policy premium for any policy is determined by the underwriting insurance company following application. Savings are estimated by comparing the highest and lowest price for a shopper in a given health class. For example: for a 30-year old non-smoker male in South Carolina with excellent health and a preferred plus health class, comparing quotes for a $500,000, 20-year term life policy, the price difference between the lowest and highest quotes is 60%. For that same shopper in New York, the price difference is 40%. Rates are subject to change and are valid as of 2/17/17.
